1 MACHINE FUNCTIONALITY AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION
1. The machine feeds consumables (materials used by TME, defined in Table 1), with a release (orderpicking) label attached, into a tote containing goods and moving along a conveyor, on the basis ofinformation from the TME IT system (the communication process is described in 3.3). It must be
possible to feed more than one consumable type into the same tote.
2. The consumables will be replenished manually by the Operator, not more often than once perhour. Material replenishment should be a simple activity, not requiring any intervention from thetechnical departments.

2 INSTALLATION SITE
1. The consumables feeder will be installed in the CLR, in the area located in the PAAW area (blue),next to the High-Bay Storage Area (yellow), as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
2. The space where the material feeder can possibly be installed is presented in Figure 3, where thearea highlighted with a red frame refers both to the machine and to the necessary maintenanceaccess clearance (4000 mm x 5000 mm), and the width of the machine itself must be limited to2000 mmFigure 1.

3 TECHNICAL PARAMETERS AND MACHINE-RELATED REQUIREMENTS
3.1 ASSUMPTIONS:
1. The machine will be installed at the beginning of the Universal Picking Stations area (USW – goods
handling station in the High-Bay Storage Area).
2. The machine can apply a label (122 x 80 mm) with the data from the TME system onto theconsumables (SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5) before feeding them into the tote.
3. The consumables that the machine(-s) will feed are shown in Table 1.
4. A storage facility for consumables must be adjusted to each material type presented in Table 1.
The storage facility will not hold various materials simultaneously, so an option facilitating itschangeover to accommodate a given type of consumables is permissible.
5. Capacity: 1000 totes per hour. This value represents only the totes to which consumables will befed.
6. The hourly tote flow rate can be uneven.
7. Materials can be fed directly to the totes moving along the main conveyor at the speed of ~0.7 m/s(the conveyor will be provided by TME). It is permissible to use auxiliary tote conveyors (includedin the consumables feeder design) to avoid compromising the required line capacity. However, thepreferable option consists in installing only the main conveyor and providing a system ensuringthat materials are fed without the need to stop the tote movement.
8. The conveyor height is ~800 mm.
9. Options for feeding consumables:
a. single consumable;b. several consumables of the same type (max. 2 pieces);c. several consumables of various types, e.g. SA2 and SA3 (max. 2 pieces).

3.2 TOTE:
3.2.1 Size
1. External dimensions (length x width x height): 600 x 400 x 170 mm.
2. A tote may come with cells that are used to divide it into more compartments. In such a situation,feeding a given material into a specific cell is not required. It can be fed arbitrarily within a tote.
3. Weight with goods or products: max. 20 kg.
4. The centre of gravity of goods or products placed in a tote can be distributed unevenly.
5. On both longer side walls, a unique tote ID barcode is located.
6. Colour: grey.
7. Example photos (Figure 6 and 7).

3.3 COMMUNICATION
3.3.1 Communication interface to exchange information with:
1. TME’s industrial automation systems (e.g. PLC) using:a) PROFINET network;
2. TME’s safety control systems (e.g. safety PLC) using:a) PROFIsafe network (preferable);b) 24 V DC relay inputs/outputs;
3. TME IT systems (chapter: Software) using Ethernet.
3.3.2 VPN access to the machine for the Contractor for maintenance purposes:
1. As per the TME’s procedure and the NDA signed with the Contractor.

2. TME’s ICT network security policy requires remote VPN access to machines via a VPN managed byTME.
3. TME uses the Fortinet solution with the FortiClient application.
3.3.3 Automatic transmission of diagnostic information to the TME system:
1. Interface used:a) Profinet network (preferable);b) TCP/IP Ethernet (acceptable).
3.3.4 Date and time synchronisation
